Bartoli's Norma is a "special case" - I'd say the most dramatically compelling performance of the role I have seen, but some - not me - take issue with her vocal conception of the part.
Another great review, though I seem to be in a minority in not being a big fan of Di Tommaso whose voice seems to me to be rather coarse and monochromatic.

He's probably the most Italianate tenor voice the UK has right now. Is he overexposed for such a young singer?
Standing by Bartoli. Such fine acting.
